Oct 5, 2023 | 12:28 PM

For the past 35 years, officials with the Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre say they have been a beacon of hope for families in need.

The organization says it understands the unique challenges that come with pregnancy and parenthood, which is why they have been dedicated to providing support and resources to the local community.

As the Centre celebrates this milestone anniversary, they invite you to join them at their Annual Fall Fundraising Banquet on Oct. 19, 2023, at 6:00 p.m..

The theme of this year’s event is Beacons of Hope. You can Learn how the Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre supports local communities through the programs offered, ways you can be involved, and hear the touching life stories from some of their clients who have benefited immensely from the Centre.

The Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre provides compassionate support and education to individuals and families impacted by an unexpected pregnancy and its effects. All CAPCC programs are free and confidential and are offered in a safe, non-judgmental environment regardless of age, gender, race, or religion. Women, men, and families can access various support programs within the Red Deer, Olds, Rocky Mountain House, and Stettler communities. These include pregnancy options support, male mentorship, baby and maternity clothing, post-abortion support, support for past sexual abuse/trauma, parenting programs, education on healthy relationships, and referrals for community resources.

The Red Deer location also has a maternity home for pregnant mothers and mothers and babies. It is a two-phase program offering a nurturing home, supporting healthy pregnancy and positive parenting.

The Aerie is staffed 24/7 and has the capacity for up to 11 young women and their infants. During their pregnancy, eligible residents enter phase 1 of the program and move into phase 2 when their infant is approximately six months of age. Residents who continue to meet program outcomes are invited to stay until their child is about two years of age as they continue to pursue education and/or employment pursuits while strengthening their parenting and life skills.

CAPCC says every dollar counts and will provide access to much-needed support and education to those facing an unexpected pregnancy.
